I worked with Anthony last night trying to clean 1 of 3 of his projects. I worked from 5 until 9:45, and after being at Soccer from 9-3, by ten I was done. I knew that we needed milk and Diapers for the kids but I just couldn’t get the energy to make a late night trip to the store.
When I woke up this morning I have to be honest for this story to make sense, I didn’t really want to get out of bed for Church. Then a quick thought came to me that I needed to go to Sacrament. So I could hear my kids wanted waffles due to the lack of milk. I got up and made them some. I went to the garage fridge to get some juice and guess what I found an extra gallon of milk that I didn’t know was in their.
Anthony and I got the kids in the shower and dressed as well as ourselves, then ten thirty comes along and we cannot find Aubrey’s shoes anywhere. during the search for the shoes however we did find about five diapers (just enough to get us through Sunday) A quick thought came to me that Aubrey’s shoes where in the car, and they where (even after Anthony claims he checked). I really felt the breads from heaven…..
We got to church a few minutes late, missed the opening song. But I knew as I sat there listing to the Bishop Confirm the Holy Ghost on a new member of the church I was meant to be there. I felt the spirit so strongly during the confirmation, more than I have ever felt. I wish I could explain it- but I can’t say it in words.
For most of you, you know that I have a problem or addiction to Coke A Cola. a few weeks ago I “knew” I needed to quit, but it wasn’t until a few days ago I decided that I would. I had Anthony give me a fathers/husband blessing to help me through this recovery. I suffered major head aches, major fatigue and lots of anger. however in his blessing it say if I was succesful I would have more spiritual experiences.
Sacrament was wonderful and very spiritual, and all the talks just entwined with each others. We went to a baptism this evening, and then came home and read scriptures and watched church history. It was a great day. However something is bothering me. I felt the prompting to go and visit family after the baptism but failed to listen, hopefully we can go tomorrow.
I would say already the lords promise has been fulfilled.
also a funny little note, I went to laurels class and it was on the word of wisdom. and a reminder of the blessing that come to those that follow it.
My goal- start going to the gym again tomorrow. It wouldn’t be so hard if I didn’t have to go at 5:30 AM. (Anthony leaves to work at 7, and doesn’t get home until LATE… and Until Sam is 6 months old he can’t go to the nursery there).
My goal is to cut out the junk food, (not going to buy it anymore) drink lots of water and go to the gym 3-4 days a week. I know that there are great blessing that come with the word of wisdom, and I think its silly that its one of the hardest commandments for me to follow. I WANT THOSE BLESSINGS! and I know that I can get them. Just takes discipline
Image this. You are in my car, Aubrey is sound asleep (from a great play date) Ava is crying because she feels she needs another play date, the baby is SCREAMING because he NEEDS to be fed, Devun in the front seat, trying to talk to his friend in the back seat (not using his in door voice). All sitting in the car for 15 min waiting for Zack and his friend Jack to get out of class.
Today our cats got shots & fixed. Pirate the orange male cat was not happy to be put in a box, and chewed his way through it. He was supposed to come home and relax in a quit room. I put him in the bathroom and he dumped out his water dish all over the floor along with some kitty litter. and then cried at the door until I let him out. He then went and tried to jump on the kitchen table tons of times, falling to the ground each time. (he doesn’t get that he just had surgery and he should rest). Raquel on the other hand his being very calm. She is the mother cat. She is in my room barley moving or crying. I feel for her the most. We thought that she was pregnant when we took her in. (I made the appointment 6 weeks ago) but lucky for us she wasn’t… She just has been in a bad mood for a few weeks. I guess thats normal for YOUNG mothers. Raquel is only a year old, and when we got her we were told she was male… To our surprise we found out she was a girl when she was about 10 weeks pregnant. (we aren’t really great pet people).
